“We played pretty good defense,” said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett.
The Bulldogs led only 25-19 at halftime, though, because they committed 14 turnovers in the first two quarters.

TELL CITY—Tell City held Hancock County to 22 points in the first three quarters and beat the Hornets 44-35 in boys basketball Saturday.
“We played all right,” said Tell City Coach John Hayes. “I didn’t think we played as well as we did Friday night (at Mount Vernon). But we played well enough to win—we gutted it out.
“We played good defense. We mixed it up quite a bit—man-to-man and a lot of different zones. We were contesting things.”
